the dragon imperial concubine noble consort

Noble Concubines and Imperial Noble Concubines were the ranks of concubines in the ancient harem. The history of imperial concubines was even longer than that of imperial concubines. During the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty began to set up imperial concubines. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, imperial concubines were second only to the empress's title, ranking first among the four titles of the first grade (imperial concubines, Shu concubines, De concubines, and Xian concubines). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, before the imperial consort was established, most of the time, the imperial consort was the head of the concubines. The imperial consort began in the Ming Dynasty. The first imperial consort in history was the descendant of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, Sun. During the Ming Dynasty, the imperial concubine was the product of the special development of the harem in the early Ming Dynasty. At first, the title of imperial concubine and the word emperor represented the power and responsibility of the acting queen. During the Chenghua period, the imperial concubine was officially conferred with a golden book and a golden treasure, establishing her status as the head of the group of imperial concubines. During the Jiajing period, it was further clarified that the imperial concubine was conferred with gold books and gold treasures, and the imperial concubine was conferred with gold books and gold seals, which were used by later generations. In the Qing Dynasty, the imperial concubine system was followed, and there was one imperial concubine under the empress. During the Kangxi period, the harem system was clearly defined as "imperial concubine one, imperial concubine two, imperial concubine four, imperial concubine six", and the imperial concubine's rank was second only to the empress. In terms of status and treatment, imperial noble consorts had golden books and treasures like the empress, while imperial noble consorts only had golden books and no treasures. The imperial noble consort had a noble status, equivalent to a deputy empress. She could be included in the same level as the empress. In times of emergency, she had the right and qualifications to act as the empress. The imperial noble consort was one level lower. She was one of the emperor's favorite concubines and did not have the qualifications to act as the empress. In addition, there was an unwritten rule in the Qing Dynasty that the empress and imperial consort could not be in the same court, but the imperial consort would not affect the status of the empress.

In the harem system of the Qing Dynasty, there were many differences between the empress and the imperial concubine. ** 1. Status ** 1. ** The difference between a wife and a concubine ** - The Qing Dynasty implemented the system of one husband, one wife and many concubines. The Empress had the status of the main wife and was the mistress of the harem. She could command the concubines and her status was extremely difficult to shake. The Imperial Concubine belonged to the category of concubines. Although she was ranked first among the concubines, she did not have the status of an official wife. 2. ** Discrepant in ceremony ** - The ceremony of conferring an empress was very heavy, and the standard was extremely high. It was a grand ceremony, the same standard as the emperor ascending to the throne and the empress dowager hanging the curtain. The whole process of the book was to go through the steps of receiving the color, conscription, welcoming, wedding, celebration, banquet, etc. After the empress was chosen, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites would make special books, treasure books, gold books, gold treasures, and so on. The ceremony of conferring the title of imperial noble consort was relatively simple. - The Empress entered the palace and took the Nine Luan Golden Top Grand Ceremony Carriage, passing through Daqingmen, Tiananmen, Meridian Gate, and all the way to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. The Imperial Noble Consort's entry into the palace was more handled by the Internal Affairs Department. When she entered the palace, she took the Internal Affairs Department's " customs car " and entered through the back door of the palace. ** 2. Powers and functions ** 1. ** Harem management function difference ** - In the absence of the Empress, the Imperial Noble Consort could temporarily preside over the affairs of the harem and have the opportunity to be promoted to the Empress. However, this kind of acting power was still fundamentally different from the Empress's commanding power. The Empress could manage the affairs of the harem and command the concubines in the harem. 2. ** Participating in the Imperial Court Ceremony ** - The empress could participate in many court ceremonies that were of the same standard as the emperor, such as the silkworm ceremony. The empress would bring the court's women to raise silkworms and weave cloth in March. The woven cloth could be used to make clothes for the emperor's sacrificial ceremony. The Imperial Noble Consort had fewer opportunities to participate in court ceremonies. - The empress could accept the worship of concubines and women in the harem, but the imperial consorts could not enjoy this treatment. The process was similar to the emperor accepting the worship of ministers in the outer court. ** 3. Treatment ** 1. ** Number of attendants and monthly salary difference ** - According to the Qing Dynasty regulations, the Empress was accompanied by 12 eunuchs and 10 palace maids, and the monthly salary was 2000 taels of silver. The imperial noble consort's treatment in this aspect was lower than the empress's, but the specific number of eunuchs, palace maids and the amount of monthly silver were not explicitly mentioned, but it could be inferred that her treatment was lower than the empress's standard.

I recommend " Deep Palace Joy ", an ancient romance novel written on a sunny day in the past. The female protagonist dressed as an abandoned concubine and refused to do it. The plot conflict was good, the writing was fresh and the narrative was clear, and the palace fight was not bad. The male and female leads flirted with each other. The emotional entanglement between the prince and the female lead was very interesting. Although they had traveled through time, the logic was relatively clear. In the serial, it was recommended to start reading from chapter 7. " The Noble Consort's Mission to Protect the Empress " was not bad either. It was an ancient novel written by Liu Chuxi. The female protagonist, Jiang Yan, brought the system through the palace battle. Her mission was to protect the Empress as the Empress Dowager and give birth to the Crown Prince. During the process, the Emperor's image was different from the information, and there was cute interaction. It was completed. A Man Ying's " Clan Daughter " was an ancient romance and classical genre. The female protagonist was a princess who had traveled through the modern era and returned to ancient times. She had rewritten her father's fate. It was a semi-counterattack novel. There were not many golden fingers and it was a little melodramatic. The character's personality changed abruptly, but it was still acceptable overall. Tanglixue's " The Survival Record of Empress Yongzheng " was an ancient romance that traveled through strange emotions. The story of the Uranala family becoming the empress was well written by Lord Fourth. His style was rational and warm. If Xiang Si's "Imperial Di" was an ancient romance classic. The female protagonist was reborn. She was killed in her previous life. After her rebirth, she took revenge on her enemy and became the Crown Princess. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
